Ravi, 11 Nov 2013Over the last few weeks Samsung has been slowly rolling out... moreThis shows that Samsung is greedy at the moment. They just want more sales for Galaxy Gear irrespective of Customer satisfaction. First they make us wait for more than 1 year then this ridiculous 4.3 update{that too only few S4 features) . Not only this even so many Galaxy S4 users are complaining about battery swelling problems and overheating issues. At this rate I don't think they'll stay as No.1 in the smartphone industry.

      Over the last few weeks Samsung has been slowly rolling out the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update to a
      number of its flagship handsets, which can take a while to reach all end users especially those
      owning carrier branded devices, but now the Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 update problems may
      cause a delay to the firmware spreading to more regions.
      A week ago we brought you the news that the Android 4.3 update had begun its journey around the
      world to the Galaxy S3, and more recently we heard how the new firmware had reached more regions.
      Now though there are some users that have already downloaded the new software that are
      complaining of having issues since downloading and installing the operating system. It seems to
      affect the lockscreen on the device with it lagging when some users press the home button.
      There have also been some users complaining about their alarm not working now as well as a patchy
      Wi-Fi connection that is really slow once it does finally connect. Others have complained about some
      apps not working correctly now along with higher than usual battery consumption.
      Now there are no way in verifying if these users have downloaded the official Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
      release for their Samsung Galaxy S3’s, but if these problems become more widespread it could cause
      Samsung to put the brakes on the rollout of the firmware.
      We recently heard that the same update was ready to be rolled out for the Galaxy Note 2 after the
      firmware was seen at a Samsung service centre, and if these claims are accurate this update could
      also see a delay.
      At the time of writing the Android 4.3 JB update hasn’t reached the UK yet after we checked our
      unlocked version of the Galaxy S3 this morning, but hopefully there isn’t any issues with the firmware
      and more regions will get treated to it in the coming few days and we have had one reader that
      claims to have received the update via Verizon Wireless, but this can’t be verified.
      Have you already received the update and had any issues?

                  i heard about
                  problems with the Android 4.3
                  update, especially on Galaxy S3,
                  and it seems to involve the UI
                  becoming unresponsive when you
                  get a phone call.

                      NEXUS 5 is made by LG and I used to have LG "Viewty" and many other LG models.I never thought of going back to LG (unless I won the competition from LG, which I have entered many times cos of my LG TV) Drop us a line or so once you have it. I have NEXUS 7 by ASUS, pretty damn good!

                                  Touchwiz doesn't feel like a wiz at all.
                                  Mostly my I'll be going back to HTC when i'm ready to upgrade.
                                  There have a much better UI.
